Imperial Beach, 91932 — Market Conditions Update
The Imperial Beach 91932 market is a balanced market that is directionally weakening as of the August 25, 2025 effective date. The median sale price for the most recent quarter is $637,000, down from $735,000 in the prior quarter, while the median price per square foot rose to $601.34, a +9.4% quarterly gain. Inventory is balanced at 4.9 months, supporting an anticipated marketing time of 60–90 days. Median days on market shortened to 53 from 70, and the sale-to-list ratio strengthened to 100.0%. Quarterly sales volume rose +7.7% (14 closings versus 13), and though the 12-month linear $/SF trend was slightly negative at -2.6%, the divergence between softer overall medians and firmer $/SF suggests the size-normalized metric is the more reliable read on underlying direction.
